We look at the division of 142721 by 99 
Let's see how many times 99 fits into 142721.

On to step 1:
99 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 99

Let's proceed to step 2:
14 divided by 99 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 142 / 99

Going ahead to step 3:
99 goes into 142 1 times with a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 99 from 142 leaves us with 43.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 437 / 99

Moving on to step 4:
The number 99 fits into 437 4 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 396 from 437 and we're left with 41.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 412 / 99

Going ahead to step 5:
99 can be fit into 412 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 144.0
Deduct 396 from 412 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 161 / 99

Moving on to step 6:
99 can be fit into 161 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1441.0
Subtract 99 from 161 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
99 goes into 620 6 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1441.6
Subtracting 594 from 620 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 99, we get 2 and a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1441.62
If we subtract 198 from 260, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
99 goes into 620 6 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1441.626
If we take 594 away from 620, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
99 can be fit into 260 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1441.6262
If we take 198 away from 260, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 99 fits into 620 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1441.62626
Subtract 594 from 620 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
99 can be fit into 260 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1441.626262
If we take 198 away from 260, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 13:
99 can be fit into 620 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1441.6262626
If we take 594 away from 620, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
260 divided by 99 is 2 with a remainder of 62.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1441.62626262
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 198 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1441.62626262 with a balance of 6.2e-08.
